Recent developments are causing the Internal Sales Department to move towards Account Management. And vice versa. Many appointments no longer take place physically, but field of Inside Sales sales still continue. The dividing line between the Internal and External Sales Department is becoming smaller. The External Sales Department does more from within. And the Internal Sales Department not only calls anymore, but now also speaks to contacts via Teams. As an Internal Sales Department, you will therefore grow more quickly towards Account Management. The development will go faster, because sending a Teams invite and having the appointment is more accessible than getting in the car and physically sitting down with someone. The content of the conversation may not even be that different. I think the Account Manager will move more towards Relationship Manager.

Think of Marketing Automation, Demand Generation, Content Marketing etc. Due to the corona crisis, Marketing is being pushed even more towards digital lead generation.

I think that many appointments will continue to inbound marketing is not just attraction marketing take place digitally, because the added value of the physical is partly lost because everyone embraces that technology. Physical appointments will remain important for certain more complex or larger subjects, but I do not expect that it will go back completely to how it was ‘before’. With that, I think that the relationships between the two functions will shift permanently.

That is also a different feeling. The office is closer, but is that necessary for the quotation? For many products and services it turns out not to be. So I think that an extra step is created in the development of the Internal Sales Service; a kind of semi-Field Service function. As a result, the bosnia and herzegovina leads step to the Field Service is less big. People can grow faster and make progress more easily. If your organization is focused on keeping people in a position for as long as possible because you do not want turnover, then that is a challenge. But if you have a policy like ours where the growth of people is what drives the organization, then it is a very positive development. These people can grow in their position and thus increase the value for the organization.
